🎸 365 Top Tips to Rock Your Job Search Every Day of 2018

How to use this list

A job search tip a day keeps the recruiters away closer…

This isn't a calendar. You want your job search to be as short as possible, so don't even plan on turning this into some kind of “job seeker tips of the day” desktop calendar that you're still flipping through months from now.

This also isn’t a checklist.

Some of the tips only apply to job seekers of certain kinds, such as graduates, older job seekers and employed job seekers.

Put differently, no one should try to apply all the tips in one job search.

Jay, this is such a great list for job seekers. As a resume writer, I enjoy helping job seekers analyze their strengths, so I especially love 196. For 189, asking recruiters for resume feedback is great, but resume writing services created by recruiters can be even more resourceful!

Great compilation Jacob!!
I love the lists you make. My favourite is ofcourse #1 – Don’t put off your job search.
If you are unemployed or recently laid off, the best thing you can do is to dust off your resume, and immediately start your job search. The sooner you start, the sooner you can get interviewed, the sooner you can get an offer,etc.

Some of these rules are great, others are debatable. I really like every tip related to LinkedIn. Some of the cover letter tips are quite odd, for example using external recommendations or avoiding personal pronouns. The cover letter is your personal document where you indicate your own motivation. The best rule about the cover letter is that it should be a targeted one. Let the employer feel their uniqueness.
